Thanks for your reply.

I presume the ink I would need is; EB6 CARBON MONOTONE MATTE BLK (EBONI) - K
Part Number: EB6-PT-K

and the base is: CLEAR BASE STOCK FOR DILUTING EBONI - PINT BOTTLE
Part Number: ESC-BASEPT-EK 

Being tight fisted, I had hoped to find a quick and cheap way of experimenting before committing to a bulk purchase and the cost and hassle of postage and import duty to the UK. I already have a spare set of empty carts and syringes.

Is there a do it yourself recipe for the clear base, like some of the others, or is it non-cost-effective?

Alternatively, if anyone in the UK has some clear base in bulk who would be willing to sell me a few CCs?

regards

Ross
